Hello John,
Here are the facts on my father's father and grandfather:
Dent Mott Carpenter was born 17 May 1899 in Salesville, Guernsey
Co., OH; married Vera Mae Davis abt 1919 in Guernsey Co., Oh; died 02 Jan
1972 in Indian River, Florida; buried Jan 1972 in Northwood Cemetery in
Cambridge, Guernsey Co., Ohio. He was divorced from Vera Mae Davis and
remarried to a Mary Jacobs. I remember going to the funeral in Ohio with
my parents and brothers. We stayed at my dad's brothers house in Cambridge,
Jack Carpenter. My grandfather died a few weeks after being hit by a car
crossing a busy highway...he remained in a coma until his death. Only 5 of
his 9 children are still living, including my father, Dent Robert
Carpenter. The ones that have passed on are: Dorthea May; James Dennison;
Betty Jane and Beulah Margaret "Aunt Peg" to me and my brothers. My father
was 4 years old when he and his siblings were put in an orphanage when his
mother left to be with another man, Russell Johnson and my grandfather
stated that he could not take care of all of them and work too. My dad,
aunts and uncle remember their dad visiting, but their mother never did.
I do know she made contact when she was dying of breast cancer and my dad
flew to see her in Missouri, I think.
Cassius M. Carpenter was born 08 July 1877 in Salesville, Guernsey
Co., Ohio; lived in Quaker City, OH per 1900 census; lived in Cambridge per
1910 census;
married Nancy Maude Brill 17 May 1898 in Salesville, OH; died in
1952 in Cambridge, OH and is buried in Northwood Cemetery in Cambridge. I
have a copy of his
death announcement. Cassius' children in addition to Dent Mott
were: Bessie Pauline; Paul C.; Charles Raymond and Clyde Hubert. He had one
stepson by his wife, Harry Brill at the time of their marriage.
I have Cassius' parents as being William T. Carpenter and Eliza
Catherine Long. William T. was born 12 Aug 1848 in Guernsey Co., Ohio;
lived in Beaver, Noble Co., OH per 1860 census; lived in Wayne, Noble Co.,
OH per 1860 and 1880 census; lived in Millwood, Guernsey Co., OH per 1900
census; lived in Londonderry, Guernsey Co., OH per 1900 and 1910 census.
He married Eliza Catherine Long 04 Mar 1866 in Noble Co., OH and died 30 Jan
1921 in Cambridge, Guernsey Co., OH. He is buried in Salesville, Guernsey
Co., OH. I have a list of his children if needed. This generation is the
farthest I have been able to get with no doubt of my connection.
Any additional info would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and one other note of
interest, I have the Carpenter webbed toes if any is interested. :) I know
at one time there was a website with info and pics of us "Webbed Toed
Carpenters". A few years ago I had a computer to crash and I lost that
info...would love to have it again.
Thanks,
Dawn Carpenter Whitley

Hello Dawn,
Most of the old time genealogists are not on
Ancestry.com because it is a
pay site and that the information on it can not be easily corrected. Once
errors get on, they tend to stay on and get repeated over and over.
Regarding your great grandfather, Cassius M. Carpenter, would you be so kind
to provide his birth date or approximate birth date, birth place, marriage
or even death date and place? The more information you can provide the
better someone can do a search.
I do not have a Cassius M. Carpenter in my main database, but others might
have that name. See example search below.

Would love to connect with the Carpenter family from Guernsey County,
Ohio.
My father is Dent Robert Carpenter, his father was Dent Mott Carpenter and
his father was Cassius M. Carpenter. I am on
Ancestry.com under the title
"Whitley/Carpenter Family History - From Ohio to Tennessee". You may
contact me directly at whitleygenealogy(a)knology.net if you wish, but it
would be best thru rootsweb so others may share info too.
